For the Pear Upside Down Cake You Need:For the topping
4 Pears, cut in medium slices
1 spoonful butter
2 spoonful brown sugar ( I prefere to use little sugar, so the natural aroma of the pears is not overwhelmed.)

For the cake:
1 pear, peeled and diced

250g (8.8 oz.) of flour

½ teaspoonful of baking powder

125g (4.4 oz.) of unsalted butter

120g (4.2 oz.)of sugar

1/8l of milk

Preparation:

In a large skillet, heat butter at low heat until butter has melted.

Add sugar, stir gently until sugar has melted than add sliced pears and continue cooking until pears are slightly caramelized.
Set aside.

Arrange the pear slices in a greased baking pan.

-In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, eggs and milk.

-Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and
fluffy.

Cover pears with cake batter, smooth with a spatula.

Preheat oven to 220CBake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown
and a thin knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove cake from the oven and place it on a cooling track.

Let the cake cool down for some minutes (not longer, otherwise the pears will stick to the backing pan), then run a knife around the edges of the cake.
Place a cake plate over the cake and, using hot pads, flip the cake carefully over.
Gently remove thecake pan.
Et voila!
